[00:06] ---
Are you close to your mom?
[00:06] ---
“Question: Are you close to your mom?”
[00:11] ---
About average, I guess.
[00:11] ---
Pretty Distant
Average
Pretty Close
[00:13] ---
“Question: Do you talk with your mom?
How much do you talk with your mom?”
[00:18] ---
Average
[00:18] ---
Average.
[00:21] ---
Ma-kun, how's school?
Tell me if anything bad happens, okay?
[00:25] ---
I'll make sure I'm there for you!
[00:28] ---
"Question. What has your mother said to you
that made you happy?"
[00:32] ---
Not much.
[00:33] ---
Question: What has your mother said to you lately
that made you happy?
Not much.
[00:34] ---
Ma-kun...
[00:35] ---
Here's sesame, thousand island,
and Asian dressing for your salad.
[00:36] ---
"Question. What has your mother said to you lately
that made you upset?"
[00:44] ---
Ma-kun, are you listening to your mother?
[00:47] ---
Hey, come on, Ma-kun...
[00:50] ---
Huh? What are you writing, Ma-kun?
[00:52] ---
What has your mother said to you lately
that made you upset?
[00:53] ---
Don't look at my stuff! You're in the way!
[00:56] ---
It's really annoying
when she calls me by a nickname.
[01:00] ---
"Question. If you went on an adventure
with your mother, would you get closer?"
[01:06] ---
What? Talk about a stupid question.
[01:10] ---
Maybe, I guess? No idea.

The Boy Thought He Was Embarking on a Great Adventure...
But, Uh, What’s Going on Here?
[02:50] ---
Hello. My name is Masumi Shirase.
[02:54] ---
I'm informing you that I'm here
as part of a survey the Cabinet Office is doing.
[03:01] ---
Since “Shirase” means to inform.
[03:02] ---
H-Hi. Did you need to introduce yourself
with a bad pun?
[03:05] ---
I'm informing you that,
[03:09] ---
since so many kids made fun of me
when I was little, I decided to just own it.
[03:14] ---
That's one way to live, I guess.
[03:17] ---
- Listen, Ma-kun, Shirase brought us big news—
- Mamako.
[03:21] ---
Y-Yes?
[03:22] ---
I'll be the one to inform him of that.
Because I am Shirase.
[03:26] ---
And informing people is my job!
[03:30] ---
Ma-kun, I'll go do something else for a while.
[03:35] ---
Now then.
[03:36] ---
Cutting to the chase, I am here to inform you
that you will now begin a new life.
[03:42] ---
Huh?
[03:43] ---
First, a question.
[03:46] ---
In a survey conducted by the Cabinet Office,
it was revealed that many users of online games
[03:51] ---
desire to actually enter
the world of a video game.
[03:57] ---
Do you feel the same way?
[03:58] ---
Sure, if that were possible,
but that's not something—
[04:02] ---
Now!
[04:06] ---
And now I hit the enter key!
[04:10] ---
Is this... Could it be?
[04:11] ---
Yes, it's just what you think!
[04:14] ---
It is... It is!
[04:20] ---
It's sending me to the world of the game!
[04:28] ---
Ma-kun, wait!
[04:31] ---
Mom... I'm sorry, I'm going.
[04:34] ---
I was always so embarrassed around you,
so I said the most awful things.
[04:35] ---
Ma-kun!
[04:39] ---
Ma-kun!
[04:39] ---
But now, if I can go on an incredible adventure
and become stronger...
[04:42] ---
Wait!
[04:44] ---
Maybe I can be more honest around you.
[04:46] ---
Ma-kun!
[04:48] ---
Someday, I'll come back, I swear it!
[04:50] ---
And when I do, I hope I can hug you tight
and tell you, “I'm home.”
[05:03] ---
A fairy?
[05:05] ---
There were things like this
in the online game I played...
[05:09] ---
But seriously?
[05:11] ---
Seriously?
[05:14] ---
I'm here!
[05:16] ---
I'm really here, inside a game world!
[05:19] ---
I made it! Hello, unreality!
[05:23] ---
This is it! This is what I was waiting for!
[05:27] ---
Yes! Yes! Yes!
[05:30] ---
Ma-kun, you meanie.
[05:33] ---
I told you to wait so I could come with you,
but you didn't wait at all!
[05:38] ---
You made me really sad!
[05:41] ---
Here we go.
[05:43] ---
It's time to go on lots of fun adventures
with your mom, Ma-kun!
[05:48] ---
Wha... What the hell?
[05:53] ---
Step, step, step.
[05:55] ---
Teleportation Palace
[05:55] ---
Welcome! I am the King,
the master of Teleportation Palace.
[06:01] ---
Before we begin, tell me your names.
[06:04] ---
I am Mamako Oosuki!
[06:07] ---
This is Ma-kun, my son!
[06:09] ---
Mamako and her son Ma-kun, yes? Now then—
[06:13] ---
Hang on a second, Your Highness.
[06:15] ---
My name is Masato! Masato!
[06:19] ---
Alright. I'll register it that way.
[06:21] ---
Registered
[06:22] ---
Could that be an initial account registration?
[06:26] ---
Indeed!
[06:27] ---
Registered
[06:28] ---
Seriously?
[06:29] ---
Also, once you register,
you can't change anything!
[06:33] ---
Why didn’t you say so?
[06:34] ---
Oh crap! I registered with my real name!
[06:38] ---
No! Don't play the fanfare!
[06:40] ---
Now then, allow me to present you
with your basic stats.
[06:44] ---
Accept them!
[06:46] ---
Masato
Normal Hero
(Combat Yes / Crafting No)
Masato's Clothes
[06:46] ---
So my class is normal hero, huh?
[06:50] ---
Mamako
Normal Hero's Mother
(Combat Yes / Crafting No)
Mamako's Clothes
[06:50] ---
Um, Your Highness,
what does it mean that my class is normal hero?
[06:55] ---
Normal means normal.
[06:57] ---
You're not expected to do anything
as grand as save the world.
[07:00] ---
A normal level of closeness.
A normal level of happiness.
[07:03] ---
As the embodiment of what you are,
a normal hero and a normal hero's mom,
[07:08] ---
these are the things that you should strive for!
[07:13] ---
Now go, hero!
[07:16] ---
Okay, off we go!
[07:18] ---
Not! I’m completely confused! Explain!
[07:22] ---
Listen carefully, then.
[07:25] ---
Basically, you're in a closed beta
for an online game.
[07:31] ---
We used special technology that we can't explain
easily to put the users themselves in the game.
[07:36] ---
So we want you to go test play it for us!
[07:39] ---
That's the deal!
[07:40] ---
Okay, that was straightforward.
[07:42] ---
Please note that
most test players were chosen
[07:46] ---
based on the strict criteria
involving their response to a certain survey.
[07:49] ---
But some unfortunate individuals who
wrote their names on what was supposed
[07:53] ---
to be an anonymous survey
were chosen as well.
[07:56] ---
It was easier to track them down, you see.
[07:58] ---
I won't mention names, though.
[08:01] ---
Who could do something so stupid...
Wait, is that me?
[08:04] ---
Masato Oosuki
Stamp Here
[08:06] ---
Now, let me tell you about the game itself.
[08:09] ---
Since it’s still in beta,
it doesn’t have an official title yet.
[08:14] ---
For now, we’re calling it an MMMMMORPG (Beta).
[08:21] ---
How many M's does it really need?
[08:24] ---
The genre is “Fantasy MMORPG.”
It offers a wide variety of classes to choose from.
[08:30] ---
You can fight. You can craft.
You can decorate your house with in-game items.
[08:35] ---
You’re free to play the game any way you like.
[08:39] ---
But my class is already...
[08:42] ---
We gave you a class nobody had taken,
so that we could gather data.
[08:48] ---
That can’t be changed either!
[08:50] ---
You’re already taking choices from me...
But, well, this is a valuable experience, right?
[08:56] ---
I get to test play a full-dive system,
and I get to be a hero too.
[09:00] ---
I think I’ve got the basic idea.
Basically, it’s an online game, right?
[09:05] ---
I’m glad you’re quick on the uptake.
What about you, Lady Mamako?
[09:11] ---
Um, well...
[09:12] ---
What is this, um... "account," then?
[09:16] ---
- We have to start there?
- We have to start there?
[09:18] ---
Just out of curiosity,
what do you think an "account" is?
[09:24] ---
Account... Um...
[09:28] ---
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
[09:33] ---
Is that it?
[09:36] ---
Well, it's faster for you
to just find out for yourself.
[09:39] ---
You have Sir Masato with you, after all.
[09:41] ---
You can read the guidebook, too.
[09:43] ---
Oh, thank you!
[09:48] ---
Ma-kun, did you hear?
[09:50] ---
They played a "Pa-pa-ra" for me, too!
[09:52] ---
It's time for the next event!
[09:55] ---
Come with me!
[09:57] ---
Don't go so fast!
[09:59] ---
We haven't finished discussing
the most important thing here!
[10:01] ---
Why...
[10:03] ---
Why is my mom here?
[10:05] ---
Why is your mother with you?
[10:08] ---
That is the question that’s deeply intertwined
with the purpose of this game.
[10:12] ---
If I told you, the GM's would force you
to do their bidding.
[10:16] ---
Instead, it would be best if you realize it naturally
through the course of your journeys.
[10:22] ---
U-Um...
[10:24] ---
Thus, Hero Masato,
[10:26] ---
I shall give you an amazing first-time player bonus
to distract you before you ask more questions!
[10:31] ---
Step, step, step.
[10:34] ---
I can take one of these?
[10:36] ---
Indeed. These are actually a reward
for completing the game's most difficult quests.
[10:42] ---
But users these days won't play your game
unless you give them something great to start!
[10:48] ---
I really didn't want to know that.
[10:51] ---
People these days are so choosy.
[10:53] ---
Back in the day, heroes used to start
their adventures with sticks for weapons.
[10:57] ---
The person from the NES generation can shut up.
[10:59] ---
Now, pick one of these swords, Sir Masato!
[11:01] ---
Oh, okay!
[11:06] ---
I don't know why,
but I feel like this is the sword for me!
[11:10] ---
I'm sure of it!
[11:16] ---
That sword is called
the “Holy Sword of the Great Heavens,” Firmament.
[11:20] ---
In the distant past,
when this world's sky was covered in the darkness,
[11:26] ---
it banished all the darkness with a single swing!
[11:30] ---
That's what the flavor text says!
[11:32] ---
I didn't need that last line!
[11:33] ---
But still, it seems like an awesome sword!
[11:37] ---
Only a hero can hold a holy sword.
You are indeed a true hero!
[11:43] ---
Well, "true hero" is going too far.
[11:46] ---
I simply stated the truth.
[11:48] ---
In fact, it's up to the test players whether
the game moves out of closed beta into release.
[11:54] ---
As a true hero, your deeds
will surely lead this world to a new dimension.
[12:01] ---
Lead the world?
[12:04] ---
Well as the one hero chosen by the holy sword,
I suppose I can give it my best shot!
[12:11] ---
Okay, maybe I'll take a sword too!
[12:14] ---
Mom?
[12:17] ---
Here I go!
[12:19] ---
She pulled out both at once?
[12:22] ---
If I left one of them here,
the holy swords would get lonely, right?
[12:27] ---
You know, these look really sharp!
[12:31] ---
Would it be okay to use them when I'm cooking?
[12:34] ---
What do you think, Ma-kun?
[12:42] ---
Welcome to the tutorial battle.
[12:46] ---
Begin the battle!
[12:48] ---
Just watch me, Ma-kun!
[12:49] ---
Your mom will do her best!
[12:51] ---
Terra di Madre.
[12:52] ---
The very life itself that was born from the land
at the dawn of creation.
[12:56] ---
It is known as “The Holy Sword of Mother Earth,”
and it became the source of all life in this world.
[13:09] ---
Your mom won’t lose!
[13:11] ---
I want to look good for you, Ma-kun!
[13:14] ---
Altura.
[13:15] ---
A miraculous blade that saved the world
from a huge, world-wide flood.
[13:19] ---
It is “The Holy Sword of the Mother Ocean,”
[13:21] ---
and is a symbol of the contract between land and sea
that split the world between them.
[13:32] ---
Ma-kun, now it's time to show me your power!
Good luck!
[13:36] ---
Oh, right.
[13:46] ---
You did it, Ma-kun!
Amazing! Amazing!
[13:52] ---
What's wrong, Ma-kun?
Did you get hurt somewhere? Let me see!
[13:57] ---
No, that's not it.
[13:59] ---
This isn't right! This is all wrong!
[14:03] ---
Why? Why?
[14:05] ---
Why do you get two-hit multi-target attacks
for your basic attack skill?
[14:14] ---
My attack is so lame...
[14:16] ---
That's not true! Your attack was amazing!
[14:20] ---
You fired off that beam thing
and really surprised me!
[14:24] ---
You were so cool!
So for now, get off the ground!
[14:28] ---
We need to go to the next one!
It'll be more fun!
[14:32] ---
Ma-kun?
[14:33] ---
If you want to go on an adventure, do it yourself!
[14:37] ---
Well, once you get out in the field,
there might be monsters and stuff.
[14:40] ---
But with your firepower it won't be a problem!
You'll win with your first swing.
[14:44] ---
Firepower? I can't create fire.
I'm not a stove burner.
[14:49] ---
Not that kind of firepower.
[14:51] ---
Now go on. Just leave me here.
[14:55] ---
B-But...
[14:57] ---
The guidebook said that if your basic attack skill
gives you two-hit multi-target attacks,
[14:58] ---
Easy-to-Understand Guidebook
[15:02] ---
your child will be really happy!
[15:04] ---
He'll give you a big hug and tell you
he wants to go on adventures with you!
[15:09] ---
Well, normally, you'd be happy, but...
[15:13] ---
Then why?
[15:17] ---
Don't tell me...
[15:19] ---
I don't think it's possible, but...
[15:21] ---
Is it because I’m your mom?
[15:26] ---
Listen. I need you to explain this.
[15:29] ---
E-Explain?
[15:31] ---
You know something, don't you?
[15:33] ---
You talked to that Shirase person
and the people running this, right?
[15:38] ---
Well...
[15:39] ---
Honestly, the fact that
I'm inside a video game is weird enough.
[15:43] ---
But I'm happy to be here,
so I won't ask questions about that.
[15:46] ---
But this is different.
[15:48] ---
What's different, obviously,
is the fact that you came with me.
[15:53] ---
Other mothers sometimes get sent
inside video games with their sons...
[15:58] ---
They do not! They most definitely do not!
That's ridiculous!
[16:01] ---
At least, I hope not!
[16:03] ---
This is a fantasy for young men,
and there's no room for parents here!
[16:07] ---
You're just in the way!
[16:09] ---
You're being a meanie, Ma-kun.
Your mom is very upset!
[16:13] ---
Nobody cares. Just answer me!
[16:17] ---
O-Okay! I'll tell you.
[16:19] ---
Tell me why you came with me.
Explain it in detail. Come on.
[16:24] ---
B-But they told me it's better
not to explain what's going on at first—
[16:29] ---
So you know something
but you won't tell me, right?
[16:33] ---
Listen, Mom, if you don't start talking...
[16:37] ---
Then what?
[16:39] ---
I'll disown you!
[16:46] ---
Oh, I didn't mean...
[16:48] ---
I'm sorry!
[16:50] ---
I just don't know how to explain.
[16:56] ---
Shirase and the others
seem to have their reasons,
[17:00] ---
so I don't know how much I can tell you!
[17:02] ---
But I'm not trying to lie to you or hurt you!
Please believe that!
[17:12] ---
O-Okay...
[17:13] ---
I want to go on lots of adventures with you,
have lots of talks,
[17:17] ---
and do our best at a bunch of things,
and then we can be a really close mother and son.
[17:22] ---
That was the only reason...
[17:24] ---
I get it! I get it! I get it, okay?
[17:26] ---
I totally understand!
[17:28] ---
So Ma-kun...
[17:30] ---
Y-Yes?
[17:31] ---
Don't tell me you'll disown me.
That makes me so sad!
[17:36] ---
It's the most painful thing
anybody's ever said said to me...
[17:40] ---
It's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
[17:46] ---
What am I doing?
[17:48] ---
Mom, I'm sorry!
[17:49] ---
The words just came out of my mouth!
I didn't mean it!
[17:54] ---
So, um... uh...
[17:57] ---
I love it when you're kind,
and care about your mother.
[18:04] ---
It's okay. You can raise your head.
[18:08] ---
Come on, you need to look at someone
when you're talking to them!
[18:13] ---
O-Okay.
[18:15] ---
I want to go on lots of adventures with you!
[18:19] ---
Will you let me join your party?
[18:22] ---
Well, I guess you can join my party, or...
[18:26] ---
Alright, fine. You can come with me.
[18:30] ---
Okay, I will!
[18:33] ---
Thanks for having me, Ma-kun!
[18:36] ---
Yeah, well, glad to have you, Mom.
[18:43] ---
Pyun!
[18:50] ---
So this is the first country,
the Kingdom of Mommalia?
[18:51] ---
Kingdom of Mommalia
[18:56] ---
It's totally fantasy!
[18:58] ---
So amazing!
[19:00] ---
I'm really inside a video game!
[19:03] ---
Huh? But the faces...
[19:06] ---
They couldn't get the models done in time, huh?
[19:11] ---
You and I need to get ready for our adventure!
[19:16] ---
So first...
[19:17] ---
Adventurer's Guild
[19:18] ---
We gather our party at the adventurer's guild, huh?
[19:22] ---
Everybody here seems pretty rough.
[19:27] ---
Well, that's fine with me!
[19:28] ---
All you normally ever say is "Yeah" or "Huh,"
and now look at how cool you're acting!
[19:34] ---
I've discovered a new side of my son!
[19:36] ---
Shut up! You're ruining the mood!
[19:39] ---
Okay, Ma-kun.
Can I have my sword for a second?
[19:43] ---
Sure, but... what for?
[19:55] ---
We need them to take us seriously,
so let's make sure we start off on the right foot.
[19:59] ---
That's what the guidebook said!
[20:01] ---
No... This isn't good.
[20:04] ---
It’s either PK or attempted PK...
[20:05] ---
Player Killing
[20:08] ---
Welcome to the adventurer's guild, travelers.
[20:12] ---
I inform-orm you that I am Shirarase,
the front desk woman.
[20:18] ---
You're Shirase, right?
[20:19] ---
I am Shirarase.
[20:21] ---
Step, step, step.
[20:23] ---
Once again, welcome to the adventurer's guild.
[20:27] ---
Thank you for taking care of us. So um...
[20:30] ---
Are you okay?
[20:32] ---
You're still bleeding.
[20:34] ---
It's just an in-game effect.
[20:36] ---
Also, I am an in-game object.
Not a PC or an NPC.
[20:41] ---
Thus, there will be no PK penalty applied.
[20:43] ---
I see.
[20:45] ---
That's great, right, Mom?
[20:47] ---
That's right!
[20:48] ---
So basically, the objects fought,
and the NEC's PC won the PK battle!
[20:53] ---
Something like that, right?
[20:55] ---
Now, allow me to introduce you
to the adventurers registered with our guild.
[21:00] ---
Here you go.
[21:00] ---
Okay, as a veteran MMORPG player,
I'll select the best party members for us!
[21:09] ---
It's decided!
[21:10] ---
Name
Rushera
[21:10] ---
Rushera the heavy knight.
Torino the thief. Sallitey the elf.
[21:12] ---
Name
Torino
[21:14] ---
Name
Sallitey
[21:15] ---
Mom, we're going to recruit these three first.
[21:18] ---
Take a look.
[21:20] ---
Oh my.
[21:22] ---
